I'm trying to get a little head start on the upcoming class and I noticed that in Lab-4016 you show:'
public BookDBAO() throws Exception { try { Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/ env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/BookDB"); con = ds.getConnection(); ... but the actual file has most of that code commented out and replaced with ... public BookDBAO() throws Exception { try { Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/ env"); /*System.out.println("initCtx is " + (initCtx==null ? "null." : "created.")); System.out.println("envCtx is " + (envCtx==null ? "null." : "created")); DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/BookDB"); System.out.println("ds is " + (ds==null ? "null." : "created.")); con = ds.getConnection(); System.out.println("con is " + con ==null ? "null." : "created."); */ Class.forName(dbdriver); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); When I remove the comments and instead comment out the last 2 lines, I get the message: "messageServlet BookStoreServlet is not available" Not sure what's going on here. Any clues?
